We had a great awareness training last night with Big and Senior Lodge. We talked about the stereotypes of “real” men and women, and the social pressures that come from that. In smaller groups checked in on what we like about being guys, and what can be hard about being a guy. My favorite answer to “what do we like about being a boy/young man” was “I get to come to this camp!”
One of the great outcomes of the workshop is that it brings home how hurtful it is to throw around derogatory words and expressions and that we can all do our part to keep that to a minimum and feel safer.
Good job TL!
